'I'm SOLO' is at the center of controversy once again. This time, the job introduction of the 24th female cast member Ok-soon (pseudonym) has been under fire.
SBS Plus and ENA entertainment programs 'I'm SOLO', which aired on the 8th, were followed by self-introduction by 24th female performers. In particular, male performers expressed admiration at the introduction of Ok-soon, who said she works in the brand strategy room of a large company 'K'. However, soon after the broadcast, online communities that require workplace certification pointed out that Ok-soon's job was exaggerated.
Among the employees of 'K', which said Ok-soon was working, it was argued that Ok-soon was a dispatched secretary, not a full-time employee of the brand strategy office. One 'K' company employee criticized Ok-soon for introducing herself like a full-time employee on the broadcast, saying, `It is uncomfortable that she was introduced like a full-time employee,' while other employees questioned "Why didn't she accurately reveal the type of employment?"
There is also a lot of controversy among viewers. Some expressed the opinion that Ok-soon's actions were inappropriate, saying that it is essential to provide accurate information in programs that presuppose marriage. On the other hand, others defended it, saying, `It is too much to reveal the type of employment in broadcasting.'
Job managers in love reality programs are not just a matter of 'I'm SOLO'. In many programs, participants exaggerated or expressed their jobs vaguely, raising viewers' eyebrows. Transparency issues in programs based on marriage have been steadily raised as unemployed people are frequently referred to as 'home protector' and gas station employees are 'S employee'.
'I'm SOLO' has been loved for its realistic matching and authenticity, but this job introduction controversy has once again caused unnecessary noise. Was it a cute trick or a deliberate exaggeration. The judgment was left to the viewers.
